Chinese Moves

We can now quite clearly understand why the Indian military needs to always remain fully equipped to meet any challenge.

The quest for clean and transparent procurement of military hardware is indeed laudable but it cannot be at the cost of military preparedness.

What will we do if we are forced into a military confrontation?

Fighting with what we have is fine but to do that successfully we must have a joint mission and a joint workable strategy that allows us instant yet calibrated retaliation.

The last time we had a ceasefire violation in January 2013 the Defence Secretary and the Army Chief briefed the PM. This time again the Army Chief has briefed Antony. Where is the Chairman COSC, ACM NAK Browne? Should he not rightfully be in the lead as the first among equals. Is it because India only thinks of a ground forces based response?
